기술혁신 활동, 기술적 성과, 경제적 성과 간의 관계에 관한 실증연구 : 기술혁신형 중소기업을 중심으로

This paper studies the empirical relationship of technology innovation capability, technological performance and economic performance. we use technology rating scores of INNO-BIZ companies and 5 year financial ratios after being selected as INNO-BIZ company(Korea technology innovation company). The results are as follows. First, R&D intensity has significant and important influence on technological performance (technology level(+), intellectual property right(+)) and on economic performance(rate of sales growth(+), rate of operating profit (-)). Second, external network has significant positive influence on technological performance as a intermediation variable. This means that industry-university cooperation policy makes contribution on the technology development of small and medium size companies. Third, intellectual property variable has significant positive influence on the rate of sales growth, but negatively significant influence on rate of operating profit. According to our results, (ex-post) rate of operating profit is negatively related to (ex-ante) R&D intensity and intellectual property variable. In preceding researches, it is revealed that the relationship between R&D intensity, intellectual property and economic performance is positive significantly. We propose some explanations about the cause of that. But, more specific discussions has not be done.
